How to Improve and Invest in Yourself in 7 Steps

Before you even start thinking of having a business, making a profit and getting rich there is one very important item you need to invest in first; yourself. 

Many people have their own business but when they fail they don’t understand why and in most cases the reason why is because they failed to work on themselves, they neglected and stopped developing their skills. 

Ok, so how do I develop myself?

1. Prioritize: first make a list of items you need to work on whether skills or habits. Next, concentrate on ONE item at a time and work on it. Do not tackle several items on the list at the same time, this will only lead to a lack of concentration and failure.
2. Quality over Quantity: no matter what anyone says quality is much more important than quantity. If you finish 2 tasks in one hour with high quality, it is much better than finishing 10 tasks in the same amount of time but with much lower quality. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, your mental health is also important. Try to make time and unwind and have fun as it will make a difference in your output and is also a reward for working so hard. 
3. Keep going: don’t let anything stop you. Listen to both advice & criticism and learn from your mistakes. Don’t let failure or criticism bring you down. You will meet a lot of people filled with negativity in your life but don’t allow them to impact your mentality. Listen and learn.
4. Learn from successful associates: try to get to know successful people within the business world and learn from their previous experiences and mistakes.
5. Finish what you start: the epitome of success is to finish anything you start. If you fall get right back up and keep going. Learn from your mistakes and don’t let obstacles stop you from achieving your goals. Expect the worst so that if or when it happens its not as big of a shock.
6. Divide & Conquer: break down large tasks into smaller ones. Allocate tasks to appropriate employees who are good at these tasks. Things will go much smoother if people enjoy and are good at what they are doing.
7. Be A Good Boss: to reach the top you should start at the bottom. Take your time and learn as much as you can about your business. With time and experience, there won’t be many problems you can’t solve.
